X-Wing Starfighter

thingiverse

Need I explain it's a classic, got features such as ~ Working wings ~ Cockpit fits a Lego minifig ~ Locking canopy stays closed during sick space loops ~ Rear compartment for R2-D2 or barrel of Alderaan's finest malt whiskey This one's a doozy, 203 lasercut pieces, 241 total. About 16 inches long. Need help? Just ask, I won't be mad. Update 8/5/2015 - One chassis rib out of place corrected, changed the "satellite dishes" on the guntips slightly. Update 8/11/2015 - Added xwing_altgun.svg. Different gun caps, removed 5/16 dowels and skewers from design. Files: xwing_1.svg through xwing_6.svg in xwing_svg.zip .DXF files same as .SVG files. Find scale with square marked ONE INCH in xwing_1.svg. Cut one of each file from 1/8 MDF. Need dowels: 3/16" - 1' 1/4" - 2' 5/16" - 2' 1 3/8" - 1' As well as some shishkebab skewers. Substitute a 1/8 dowel for skewers if you want. Cutting and boring info on the first two pages of instructions. UPDATE 8/11/2015 - Using xwing_altgun.svg? Don't need 5/16 dowels or skewers, and 3' of 1/4 dowel. Drill 1/2 dowels straight down center all the way through. If tricky you can try: http://www.mcmaster.com/#plastic-hollow-rods/=xheyp7. Follow by cutting several rings, stack into tube. For magnets I used some 1/2"x1/4"x1/16" from K&J Magnetics: https://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=B841 R2D2 exercise left for the reader. Some legs included to get you started.
